Hey folks,

Not sure if this is the perfect spot for this, but was wondering if anyone might have some tips for me. I have a vinyl from my favorite band that I'd love to have signed by them when I see them in concert. I will be seeing them in a m&g, so that's when I plan to have them sign some things. However, the venue I'm seeing them at limits carry-in bag sizes to 10x10 in, so there's no way I'd be able to fit that vinyl inside. I would be allowed to carry it in, but that would mean I would have to spend the entire concert holding around a full size vinyl while also trying to enjoy dancing around to the music. The venue also doesn't allow reentry once you exit the building, so I couldn't leave it in my car. Do you guys have any way I could get around this? Or should I just plan to carry it and hold it the whole concert?

All advice appreciated!

Coat check is your friend! I've checked so many things that are not coats at coat check- mugs from the bar beforehand, poster I bought at the concert and yes vinyl too. They'll give you a stub just like they would for a coat and will have a plastic bag or something to wrap it in

Coat check! That's brilliant. I hadn't even thought about it. All venues have that, I assume? People gotta put their coats somewhere right?

I can't think of a venue I've been to for a concert that didn't have a coat check, but it's possible if the venue is super super tiny. You can always call them and ask to confirm.

Thank you! I will definitely look into it. That will save me so much hassle

Just buy one there.

The meet and greet is before the concert so I'd still have to carry it around. And if I buy it after the concert I won't get a chance for them to sign it
